FEDERAL SURPLUS AIRCRAFT (21) T h e Institute of Aviation has need for helicopter equipment to improve flight and maintenance instruction. F o u r helicopter aircraft are presently available for transfer to the University from the Federal government via the Surplus Equipment Distribution Program of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the State of Illinois Federal Surplus Property Section. The cost for acquiring these helicopters is estimated to be $2,100, which will include handling, service, pilot ferry transport charges, and fuel. T h e helicopters are in airworthy condition and are presently assigned to and operated in the New York Army National Guard. T h e Director of the Institute of Aviation has recommended acquisition of the four helicopters to replace limited existing, but obsolete, equipment. T h e Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign and the Vice President for Planning and Allocation concur in this recommendation. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary be authorized to execute contracts with the appropriate Federal and State agencies to acquire these helicopters.
